I need to get this off my chest...

[Thaal Sinestro]

The primary reason that we did a surprise attack (which I don't really consider metagaming, because it's only purpose was to CIRCUMVENT metagaming) was too prevent the much larger and much more connected NB from being able to prepare OOC reenforcements and sequestering their assets. Like, we wanted it to be an ACTUAL surprise attack, primarily so that we could accomplish the desired goal of a surprise attack.

I have few doubts on my mind that Sasuke would have used OOC knowledge to effect his actions IC. Not a doubt on my mind. I wanted things to be fairly done from an IC standpoint, and I'm not gonna feel bad about taking steps to ensure that.

Additionally, it's not like surrender isn't an option. It's explicitly stated. Also, fleeing is obviously an option, it's not like Sinestro knows anyone but Gilgamesh.

As far as me carrying about other people's fun? Of all the people who have gone out of their way to help improve their writing or organize events or literally WHATEVER I CAN DO to improve people's experience... Like wow, yeah, no, I must hate all of you to dedicate so much time and energy for no reciprocation.

I do, however, have IC goals and aspirations. I do want to play my character and enjoy the PVP aspect of the site. That doesn't make me a shitty person, and neither does thinking tactically about the situation.

I said it before and I'll say it again, don't expect me to be real active in PvP or I guess in general after this, after all the pissing and moaning about something engaging and competitive it's obviously not something worth engaging in.
